The spirit vanishes, a faint sobbing echoing for a moment in the morgue. The room returns to its peaceful state, the tension in the room slowly returning to normal levels. With that, you are left with few answers and many more questions.

Kuren runs a search on Kobayashi Makoto, suspecting the individual to be a teenaged progeny of the victim.


Data Search 3 + Browse 5 + Analytical Mind 2 = 10d6

Please correct me if the I got the names backwards I figure the surname goes first.
Specifically looking for teenagers om the search.

Extending the test.

<Sensei, I normally don't bother you about details, but is there anything you can tell me about this lady that may be helpful? any enemies? people she knows?>
if I would know this already or he would have already told me Ignore the above and make it a memory thing.

@Yaibei

Not long after you send your message you get an answer:

"All I can say is she was a very secretive and cautious woman."

[Chrona]

"Now that that's over... if no one minds i'm going home..."

@Kuren

You start searching for a "Kobayashi Makoto". After about 15 minutes, you find a relevant hit: someone by that name works at club "Venus Fly Trap" in Kabukicho.

[Lumen]

Satisfied with the search results for now Kuren updates the case file and alerts the team again. *Clubs definitely seem like Smiley or Mia's area of expertise. Maybe they can investigate while I process the samples.*

<//CaseFile_Update: Kobayashi Makoto currently employed at a club known as 'Venus Fly Trap' in Kabukicho. (PoI: probable descendant and roommate)>

<Smiley-san and Mia-san do you know the club?  Could be worth you two investing.>

"Finally some fun! You bringin the single nuyens Smilez?"

J returned to his alleyway, checked everything was safe and in its place and curled up under his cardboard. His head was killing him, he needed to get better quickly so he could think about what just happened.

"Something tells me that singles would be more an insult than anything kitty cat, but l am sure I got it covered, let's go."

Smiley heads for his bike, sending a text to Tetsuo

<At a crematorium in the Nakano district, near Nakano station, there has been a break in.  Inside you will find a body listed as Kanako Yamada.  This woman is Kobayashi Mizuki, aka Kawaguchi Fumiko, her passing was not due to heart failure, but rather poisoning.  I will trust you to make sure that proper arrangements are made for her, but hurry, she will be disposed of in anonymity early this morning.>

Kuren walks two blocks south then five blocks east before hailing a cab, heading back to HQ.  Once there he set to work setting up the lab to preform the necessary tests.

Chemistry 1 + Logic 6 + Personal Lab 2 = 9d6.
9d6.hits(5)=2
I'll use a point of Edge to reroll failures. Leaving me at 1/3 Edge.
7d6.hits(5)=5 YATTA!


Once the tests are complete he turns in and sets and alarm to be awake early enough to grab a shower and meet the Johnson in the morning.

[Necrogigas]

After the others finished playing twenty questions with the woman's ghost, Fischer returned to his car and waited for Kuren to leave. Fischer attempted to follow the detective back to his lab unnoticed.

If that's enough to notice Kuren will tell the taxI to pull over at the nearest subway and drop him off.  It's harder to track by car.

Mia jumps on her bike and whistles to ninja boy "You coming along sugar?"

@Kuren

Your cab zips through the (relatively) empty Tokyo streets and soon lets you out at your place. You get in, tired, but diligently put your gear to work and let it do its thing before getting some shuteye.

@Pipebomb

You try to follow the Japanese human. He sneaks around streets, turning left and right before getting into a cab. You try to be careful not to be seen, following them from a good distance. Eventually the cab slows down and its passenger gets out, Kuren going into a building and swiftly closing the door.
